UBISOFT® CREATES NEW MIGHT & MAGIC® EXPERIENCE FOR NINTENDO DS PLAYERS

Might & Magic® Clash of Heroes® to Launch Worldwide in August 2009

SAN FRANCISCO - May 13, 2009 - Today Ubisoft® announced that it will launch a new title in the Might & Magic universe. Might & Magic Clash of Heroes, a puzzle RPG that was developed by Capybara Games, creators of award-winning handheld and mobile games, will be available on Nintendo DS and it will be released in August 2009.

Through five unique and epic quests, players will alternate exploration and turn-based puzzle battles in the game to save the world of Ashan from demonic chaos. Might & Magic Clash of Heroes also adopts a brand new manga-style art design that is perfectly suited to Nintendo DS. In a world populated by knights, elves, wizards, necromancers and demons, gamers can manage their own hero, customize their army and lead campaigns in the mythic Might & Magic world.

"Our fans have always appreciated the depth and richness of the Might & Magic universe," said Romain de Waubert de Genlis, senior producer at Ubisoft. "The teams at Ubisoft and Capybara were inspired to extend that universe in a unique way onto the DS, creating an engaging new game experience."

Created for Might & Magic fans, while also attracting new audiences, Might & Magic Clash of Heroes can be played in solo mode or shared with a friend in two-player peer-versus-peer mode.

At least it's not a total Puzzle Quest rip off.

Interesting, from the screens it looks like a text adventure game. Seems lacking in the variety of words though.

puzzle battles and manga style?  :yuck this looks so inspired... hey, let's take cues from Japanese RPGs and Puzzle Quest!

this is so ridiculous, Ubisoft plain doesn't know what to do with this franchise and how to make back the money they paid to buy the license, why not give it to say their Montreal studios and make them do a full-fledged, proper RPG?

anyone remembers that Tomb Raider clone with the Might & Magic name on PSOne?
